Nayoung Rim serves as an Associate Professor of Economics at the United States Naval Academy, conducting critical research on discrimination and inequality in educational and labor market contexts through empirical policy analysis.
Her academic foundation includes advanced training at prestigious institutions:
- Ph.D. in Public Policy, University of Chicago
- Master's in Public Policy, University of Chicago
- B.A. in Economics, Wellesley College
Professor Rim's research program investigates structural drivers of inequality, with specific focus on gender disparities in graduate education under Title IX, differential fertility impacts of up-or-out promotion policies by gender, in-group bias in police department dynamics, and racial/ethnic disparities in medical diagnostics. Her work consistently identifies policy levers for reducing systemic inequities.
Recent scholarship includes analysis of racial gaps in career recognition through award nomination systems, demonstrating how subtle institutional mechanisms perpetuate inequality. This publication exemplifies her broader research trajectory examining intersectional discrimination across multiple societal domains.
Her active research program has attracted significant external funding from the Russell Sage Foundation, Laura and John Arnold Foundation, and AccessLex Institute/AIR. These grants support ongoing investigations into discrimination mechanisms while facilitating research mentorship opportunities within the Naval Academy's academic environment.
